Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 114 New Year's New Weather

Spring rain is as expensive as oil. With the coming of the Shangsi Festival, the green earth everywhere announces that the footsteps of spring have stepped on the world.

Shangsi Festival, a festival that is not very familiar to the people of later generations.But in the Tang Dynasty, it had an extremely important position, because this festival was related to "water".In an agricultural society, nothing is more important than water.

This ancient festival can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it can be seen from the Book of Songs and the Analects of Confucius.And as for what to do on the Shangsi Festival?Of course, imitating the ancients, helping the old and the young to swim in the river!
Haha, the judges read it right, it is indeed going to swim in the river, and it is stripped naked, at least it was like this in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Brain supplement.

In the Tang Dynasty, the concept of etiquette was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was impossible to do it all, let alone go to the grove to do something.There is no more mixed bathing for men and women, which is too shocking, but the clever Tang people also found another fun.

Bring the whole family to wash your hands and feet, so a Songkran festival that belongs to the daytime carnival was born!

For example, at this moment, Yang Xiaoran was embraced by a group of villagers to the river, enjoying the villagers' natural dance and singing voice.From time to time, some boiled eggs and red dates would float on the river, allowing her to experience the fun of "Floating Plain Eggs in Qushui" and "Floating Crimson Jujubes in Qushui", which were also very popular in the Tang Dynasty. What about the customs!

There are even literati who are still drinking and composing poems by the river. For example, Xu Yiren is looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with a sad face, reciting affectionate poems.

"Huh? There are elegant people upstream..."

Suddenly Xu Jingzong bent down to pick up a wine cup from the river, the corner of Yang Xiaoran's mouth twitched not far away, the way Xu Jingzong looked at the wine cup was really... Thirteen...

Most of Xiaoqingzhuang are farmers, and the only one who can be called a literati is Yang Xiaoran, an 11-year-old girl. Naturally, she doesn't have the elegance to play with Xu Daguan who recites poems.So Xu Jingzong was very sad. Xu Daguan, who was once one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, felt the loneliness of life like snow, and the sadness on his face became a little bit stronger.

Too lazy to pay attention to the thirteen o'clock, Yang Xiaoran bent over to scoop up water towards the cat's egg, the cat's egg jumped up and down on the ground, and finally plunged into the river. The embarrassed appearance made the villagers laugh.

Four or five months old, Maodan is already very big. Fortunately, Maodan is a girl. If it was a fair one, Yang Xiaoran could be easily pushed down by now.The cat egg that has grown up is very lovable and has a very human nature. It walks around the village every day, like a queen patrolling her territory.

As soon as she arrived, all the dogs behaved immediately, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, as if courtiers were paying homage.Although Maodan was a tiger, it never disturbed the people. The villagers saw that the tiger was very cute, and felt that she was still young, and gradually they did not reject her. So obedient.The county lord is watching, the tiger will not hurt people.

Therefore, seeing the cat egg being teased by the county owner and falling into the water, the little pity was thumping in the water, which made the villagers couldn't help laughing.

In fact, the tiger can swim, not to mention the cat egg that has undergone space transformation. She is now at least as smart as a five-year-old child, and she can learn everything quickly.He happily swam back and forth in the water, climbed onto the shore, shook his body, and the water splashed in all directions, as if he was fighting back Yang Xiaoran's prank.

"Tsk, this tiger is really amazing, why do I look into its eyes and think it understands what we say?"

Some villagers began to whisper, "That's right, it doesn't matter who can raise it. Have you handed over all the grain seeds? The county owner said that she got a good thing. Soak the grain seeds in it to increase And the output!"

"I, I haven't, I think this is a little unreliable..."

"Hey, I paid it all."

"Are you crazy?"

"Isn't the county owner talking anymore? If there is a loss, not only will the rent be waived, but you will pay us to compensate us, so what are you afraid of? Let me say that you are too unkind. The county owner came back after the new year and made several A kiln, even if you don’t farm, you can live with the wages given by the county lord. Besides, when did the county lord deceive us? If you want me to say that Brother Zhou has a vision, when the county lord said it, he took all the food. The seeds have been handed in, so you should be afraid, when we grow up, our fields produce four or five shi of grain, hey, there will be times when you will be jealous."

A group of villagers are completely crooked.The reason for the crooked building is very simple. Once Yang Xiaoran sealed off the land, he asked someone to bring a small amount of grain seeds into the space for experimentation. The result was as she guessed, the newly added piece of land did contain optimized species. The effect of the genes, although the grains brought into the space have not produced grain, but according to her calculations, the growth must have been shortened by one-third, and the growth is vigorous, and blue grains have grown.

She was originally a major in this field, and she figured it out as soon as she calculated it. According to this posture, the optimized grain seeds per acre of land would be reduced by four to five stones of grain.

Yang Xiaoran has always been a courageous person, and he doesn't like to procrastinate.Not to mention that she is another Li Xiaoer in Xiaoqingzhuang, the real emperor.If you don't want to miss this season's sowing, you must gather all the people, and each family will voluntarily provide grain seeds, striving to double the grain production this year.

In addition, she also improved farm tools. Not only did the craftsmen build columbine carts, but also changed Datang's long straight plow into a curved plow. The improvement of farm tools greatly improved work efficiency.And Sanyuan County has a lot of water sources, so she ordered people to dig ditches, set up large water trucks, and even wanted to build a small dam to store water.But considering that there is no cement and suitable materials and labor is not enough, this can only be shelved for the time being.

Last year's disaster made a deep impression on her, so it's always good to prepare in advance.

So Yang Xiaoran summoned the villagers to talk about this matter. Although the villagers were a little hesitant, they responded quite a lot.Even if you don't hand in all the food seeds, you will always get something.Yang Xiaoran didn't force it. To be honest, it was beyond her expectation that the villagers could participate so actively.

The popularity of any new thing always takes time!When the grain is harvested, she dares to believe that even if she doesn't go to the villagers, these people will bring her the grain seeds, crying and shouting.

"Cat egg, come here!"

After a few months, Yang Xiaoran always felt that Baolin had grown taller again.Thinking about it, the young boy who was originally in his teens is now at the right time to make a move.

"Brother Baolin, are you here?"

Bao Lin touched the back of his head with a smile, and said, "I just took the guards on a tour and caught a little rabbit for the cat to eat."

As he spoke, he took out a gray-haired rabbit from behind, Yang Xiaoran's eyes lit up, "It's still alive?!"

"Ok!"

Bao Lin nodded, "The cat will go back to the forest one day, and she will catch one alive, otherwise she will starve to death after returning to the forest."

Yang Xiaoran nodded, unable to tell that Baolin was dull, but in fact he was quite careful.

But she didn't intend to let the cat egg go, how could she let go of such a humane little guy?

"Don't give this rabbit eggs to the cat, I want to raise it."

Yang Xiaoran snatched the rabbit from Baolin very rudely, ignored the longing eyes of the cat, and said with a smile: "Do you know? This rabbit can actually be raised, but the rabbit can dig holes, and the cage will cost a little It's hard work, but if you raise them well, two rabbits can give you twenty or thirty rabbits a year."

As soon as the villagers became interested, they all listened with pricked ears, "Master, is this rabbit so fertile? Huh? I seem to have heard the old people say that rabbits are the most fertile, but they are not easy to raise. Will dig holes."

Yang Xiaoran chuckled, and said: "I asked you to build a kiln and burn the red bricks that can be used at this time."

"Impossible, county lord, are the good bricks for this livestock?"

Many villagers felt distressed on their faces. How can good bricks be used by animals?
Yang Xiaoran waved his hands and said: "Everyone, what do the nobles in the city like most? Rabbit fur is rare, and wool is easy to get. If we raise a group of rabbits in the village, the rabbit meat can be eaten, and if we can't finish it, we can make it into smoked meat. Meat, bacon is sold. This rabbit fur can be made into leather and sold to those noble people."

After a pause, he continued: "Our soap is selling very well in Chang'an City now, and soap and perfume will be on the market soon, elders, don't worry, as long as everyone does what I say, I can't guarantee that everyone will be rich." It’s expensive, but it’s not a problem if you have enough food and clothing, drink a little wine and eat a piece of meat every so often!”

A group of people laughed loudly when they heard this, and they all cupped their hands and said: "Master, you are a good person, and you never give us a disadvantage. Okay, we will do whatever the Lord says!"

Bao Lin watched from the side, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice for Yang Xiaoran.

This group of villagers trusted Cheng's girl more and more, and their life was indeed much easier.Although everyone got into action as soon as the new year was over, building kilns, making soap and perfume, and digging ditches to make farm tools. It seemed hard work, but Baolin saw a kind of called "" from the faces of these villagers. To make things of hope, everyone is very at ease.

Looking at this girl from the Cheng family, Baolin became more and more curious about her.

How much energy is contained in this small body?How can she know everything?

She can write articles, cook delicious food, and is so proficient in farming. Is there anything in this world that she doesn't know?

"Don't be in a hurry now. I have finished the grain seeds that everyone handed in. Now I will take them back to raise seedlings. The busy farming season will be over soon. Let's take a break for a few days and gather energy to work hard this year. It will be booming." Huo Ben Xiaokang!"

"Okay!" The crowd cheered for a while, and someone asked again: "Then what... what does the county lord mean by Xiaokang?"

Yang Xiaoran's face was embarrassed, and when he got excited, he shouted out the slogans of future generations.Fortunately, she was witty enough, and hurriedly said: "A well-off society means eating enough, wearing warm clothes, having wine and meat, cattle and land, and children and aunts warming up on the kang!"

"Ha ha……"

The villagers all laughed, with a hint of fascination on their faces, Baolin scratched his head and asked, "Sister Yaoxiang, what is the kang head?"

"..."

If you want to cry but have no tears, Datang will not get this thing!Running the train with a full mouth kills people!
